Family. A word that has a thousand and one meanings. 

What a simple word, only 3 syllables but yet holds every emotion.

It can break your heart or mend it together.

What a vibrant image. An image of happiness or distress. 

A transformative image dependent on the person. 

So many people are lucky enough to have it, so many lose it in a blink of an eye.

A laugh, a cry, a fight that leads to death, fighting a war.

The thought tucks you in at night,

safe and protected by the hug of embrace until it eats you up at night. 

When you close your eyes and don’t see any faces,

No laughter, No smiles just darkness and hatred.

But you will keep on waiting to open your eyes,

thinking Family has a thousand and one meanings.
